Chapter four:  Another Side, Another Story

Fred, the Outlaw Star, lights, water, insurance for Starwind & Hawking, food, people, Gene.  This is all Gene's fault.  'We'll make it big' he says.  So, from what I see, there's no trace of big money, no traces of high profits, no traces of a steady business.  Nothing.

"What a dumbass…" Jim continued to check on the self-automated evaluator, which was connected to the company's bank account, on his handheld laptop.  He's also lazy as hell.  I mean it's already 2:30 pm!  "Gene, GET UP ALREADY!!!"  With that, the blonde-haired boy pounded the floor with his right foot.

No response.

Jim sighed.  Stressed out, he got up from the kitchen table and walked to the counter to make some coffee.  Coffee was the only thing that separated Starwind & Hawking from going out of business.  And, for the people who don't know a normal day in this place, Jim, the 11-year-old boy, drunk the most coffee in the building.

He heard footsteps behind him just now, which he assumed it was his partner.

"Gene," Jim said calmly, trying to hide his anger for once, "Why is it…that you go to clubs and stay there every night?"  He turned around and saw someone other than Gene.

"Oh, sorry Suzuka."  Jim apologized.  He turned around, frustrated, and took a sip of his coffee.

"It's okay."  She walked in the kitchen.  And did something unusual…Suzuka actually pulled out a chair and sat down with Jim.  Usually she would stand in a corner somewhere and drink her some green tea, but now, she was looking at Jim with a face with concern.

"Jim, I always wanted to know, why is it that you always seem to be busy?"

He smiled.  "I thought Aisha only asked me that.  Well, it's that Gene does nothing at all except for saying 'We'll make it big!' all the time and sleep." He laughed a little. "This place just needs to be called Hawking & Twilight & Clan-Clan & Melfina."  He took another sip at his coffee.

Suzuka giggled a bit.

"So, Suzuka, what happened to you?  You're always so quiet and alone.  Something good happen?"

"Yes, in a way," her mood fell to depression.  "I took a long look at my life yesterday.  My parents killed by pirates; my anger rising enough for me to become an assassin; the time I met you people; my revenge at the Leyline…  I have always thought that there'll be a time that my mother and father would come back from the dead to give me a final goodbye before they departed to the Afterworld.  But now…I've faced the facts, there's no possible way for that to happen, so I'm going to put it behind me and continue living my life, thinking pleasant thoughts about my dead loved ones."  Suzuka's expression lifted a little.  Jim noticed it.

"So…have you seen Aisha lately?  She left this morning you know without saying good bye."  He asked.  He drunk the rest of his coffee and put the mug aside.

"No, I haven't."

"She's been acting grumpy lately so, oh well."  He resumed typing.

"Is Melfina's okay?  You know she's on the roof, right?"  Suzuka asked.

"Yeah, I know.  She's been going up there a lot recently, especially during the daytime.  But if that jackass I call my partner would wake up and go check on her, she'll probably talk more to us."  Jim had a slight raised tone in his voice.

"I'd think it would be best to leave her alone for now.  Before I walked in, I saw her leaning off the rafters, as if she was looking for someone.  I called to her, but she just ignored my greeting."

Jim started to laugh again.  "What's up with all you women here?  You're all having mood swings at the same time.  I'm starting to think you're all on your p-hmph!"

Suzuka placed her hand on Jim's mouth, laughing.  Her cheeks started to turn red.  "You really need to stay away from Gene."

I Did it!!!!  Even on a school night!!!!!!!  This is NOT the only time you will see the OS team.  You'll see them again in the next chapter, along with my characters.

I don't get it…my friends say this is a good story, and some reviewers say it's a good story.  So why ain't people reading it?  Even though I'll still continue writing, reviewers or not, I'm not as crappy as those dumb ff.net writers.  Not you, the reader, but those writers, browntipsoverhere and joshmasta69.  Anyways…good bye.
